soinestin the adult version of your original sideway mittens there is some confusion beginning at Row 28 it says to knit 40 stitches when there are 41 stitches on the needles the very next row says to decrease the last 2 stitches and you come down to 36 stitches at this point instead of going down the 1 stitch at a time like the previous rows. Please contact me at m.mcdonald123@rogers.com Marlene
nevermind i had an earlier version printed out oopsy! Marlene
These look great! Could you tell me, approximately what age the child size would fit? This is for my first grandson and the pair I made up as I went along did not turn out looking quite right. :)
Thanks...
Linda.
Is there an advantage to working them this way?
